                    CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

I, Richard T. Clark, certify that:

     1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Global Beverage
          Solutions, Inc. (the registrant);
     2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
          under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
          the period covered by this quarterly report;
     3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
          information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
          material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
          cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
          this quarterly report;
     4.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
          establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
          defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the
          registrant and have;
               a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                    such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                    my supervision, to ensure that material information relating
                    to the registrant, is made known to me by others,
                    particularly during the period in which this report is being
                    prepared;
               b)   designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
                    caused such internal control over financial reporting to be
                    designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
                    assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
                    and preparation of financial statements for external
                    purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
                    principles;
               c)   evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
                    controls and procedures and presented in this report my
                    conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
                    controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered
                    by this report based on such evaluation; and
               d)   disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
                    internal controls over financial reporting that occurred
                    during the registrant's current fiscal quarter that has
                    materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
                    affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
                    reporting; and;
     5.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based
          on my most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
          reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
          registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
          functions):
               a)   all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                    design or operation of internal control over financial
                    reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect
                    the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
                    report financial information; and
               b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                    or other employees who have a significant role in the
                    registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
